Vehicle Accidents

Vehicle accidents are the most common cause of personal injuries that result in legal action. The auto accident lawyers at The Falvello Law Firm in the Berwick area of Pennsylvania is here to assist you with any type of vehicle accident in which you may be involved.

Types of Vehicle Accidents

• Automobile accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian Accidents

• Boating Accidents

Although it would seem that all of these are similar, different laws apply depending on which type of vehicle is involved in an accident. Thats why it is important to have an experienced vehicle accident law firm such as The Falvello Law Firm review the facts of your case and work with you on a contingency basis (where you dont pay until a settlement is obtained) to protect your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.

Serious Facts About Vehicle Accidents

According to The Disaster Center's Motor Vehicle Accident Death and Injury Data Index, you have a one in one thousand chance of being in a vehicle accident each year in the U.S. And, unbelievably, natural disasters dont compare to vehicle accidents because vehicle accidents cause more deaths than all natural disasters combined!

It is important to determine who was careless or at fault (negligent) in a vehicle accident because that person can be held liable for damages in a personal injury lawsuit.

If a loved one died in your vehicle accident and you werent at fault, you may have a case for wrongful death.

Comparative Negligence

Pennsylvania operates under a comparative negligence system that examines how much each party was responsible for the damages and injuries involved. You must show that the other party was 50% or more negligent (careless or at fault), and you must not be more than 50% liable in order to recover damages.

Vehicle Accident Damages

If you were injured in a vehicle accident due to someone elses carelessness, you may be able to collect monetary damages for any or some combination of the following losses:

• Disfigurement
• Embarrassment
• Emotional suffering
• Loss of enjoyment
• Loss of love and affection
